younggun Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Hello, Recently I purchased a 28 or 9 sedan with the straight 6 in it. Im only 24 and dont know anyone who can help me out with this car so i joined the group hopeing to get some assistence with the restoration of this car. Unlike other guys my age im not looking to chop or channel the car i want to put it back to original. As far as the vacum fuel pump i see its mounted on the firewall. Now there are alot of drilled holes in the fire wall, not rust holes, but none of them match up to mount the 4 holes for the vacuum pump. is there somewhere else its mounted. i dont want to just drill the holes in the wall. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Younggun, good for you buying an old DB. What model sedan do you have? The vacuum tank should mount on the passenger side firewall. If you don't have a owner's manual I think the AACA library does. They can copy and send it to you for a few dollars. At the top of this page under "resources" look for the library and go to on line search and type in 1928 Dodge Brothers. You can ask your questions here on down in the DB section.

Mark Shaw Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 In 1915 Buick mounted the vacuum tank on the intake manifold. I don't know about Dodges, but check for U clamps to see if it was mounted this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dieters Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I have 3 1928 Dodge 4drs. 1 =standard 6 2= early victory has wood running boards 3= late victory has 21'' wood spoke wheels. All have the vaccum tanks mounted on the fire wall on the driver side. The top band is about 1 1/2 in. above the elect groument, the bottom is 1in over from the elect block. by the way I used a extra tank to replace one of mine & placed a elect pump inside & a pressure gage just before the carb.

keiser31 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Here is a restored 1929 Dodge Brothers with a couple of under the hood shots. The vacuum tank is on the passenger side firewall. The tank on the driver's side is the brake fluid reservoir, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 1928 or 1929? If you post a couple of photos or the serial number, we can probably tell you exactly what you have so that you will not have to guess. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
